Fire management has a successfully transitioned to the Shasta-Trinity National Forest Type 3 organization.
The priority remains full suppression and containment of the fire. The restoration process starting with suppression repair to bring the forest back to a productive and vibrant resource is a component of this strategy.
A Forest Service Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) team has been established by the Shasta-Trinity National Forest to assess post-fire impacts. The team is conducting a rapid assessment to identify immediate post-fire threats to life, property, water quality, and critical natural and cultural resources. The BAER team is evaluating the increased risks of flooding, debris flows, and erosion. The removal of fire suppression equipment is nearing completion. This includes mechanized equipment such as dozers, chippers and excavators. These large pieces of equipment are using local roads. Residence needs be alert of this traffic.
FIRE ACTIVITY: Despite warmer and drier weather, the vegetation and ground fuels still aren't as dry as they were earlier in July. Fire activity remains very low, with smoldering well within the fire's perimeter.
FIRE WEATHER: A hot and dry airmass will bring a warming and drying trend to the Green Fire this weekend. Above normal temperatures, low daytime humidity, and poor overnight recoveries are forecast Friday through Sunday. Periodically breezy northerly winds are forecast Friday morning and again Friday night into Saturday morning.
EVACUATIONS: At 10:00 AM on Saturday, August 2, 2025, the Shasta County Sheriff's Office reduced the Evacuation WARNINGS for ALL zones. All Zones have now returned to a NORMAL status.
CLOSURES: Shasta-Trinity National Forest closure order for the Green Fire can be found at https://www.fs.usda.gov/r05/shasta-trinity/alerts/green-fire-closure-order.
INITIAL SITUATION: The Green Fire started following widespread thunderstorms and lightning on the afternoon and evening of June 30, 2025. The Shasta-Trinity National Forest saw more than 3,100 lightning strikes between June 30 and July 2, resulting in several wildfires. (Wildfire information for other current incident on the Shasta-Trinity). Firefighters will continue monitoring the forest in the days ahead for holdover fires that may emerge from this week's storms.
AIR QUALITY: Fire activity for the Green Fire is continuing to decrease. Areas close to the fire could see brief periods of smoke, but no long duration impacts are expected.
NO DRONE ZONE: Drones pose a serious risk to firefighting and can cause air operations to cease. When drones interfere with firefighting efforts, a wildfire has the potential to grow larger and cause more damage.
